A nurse researcher investigating treatment options to decrease the risk of developing hypertension should consider which genetic information?

▸ The genes responsible for most hypertension have been identified through candidate gene studies.

▸ Many of the genes responsible for familial hypertension are also responsible for essential hypertension.

▸ Hypertension is the disease process that exemplifies how complete knowledge of genetic transmission can be used to control progression.

▸ GWAS of hypertension identified numerous genetic foci not previously associated with hypertension.
